yeah, apparently the affidavit is legally binding for CS.

But my problem is not that he wants time with her. I would be happy to give it.
The problem is that he doesn't exist to her. And that my fiance wants to adopt her. I realize that he can't adopt until we are married, but what would it take to get his rights revoked? Would all of his convictions do it, or would he have to have more current issues? He was jailed in 2004. I have no way of knowing if he is really clean. Would that require forcing him to drug test?

Have you point blank asked him if he would sign to allow new husband to adopt in exchange for you not filing for child support?

While "buying a child" is pretty much morally reprehensible, if dad doesn't want to see her, maybe he would agree to sign over his rights.

No, I can't find him. and I don't think he would sign anything. He wanted to be her father when we were together, but after I left it was like pulling teeth to get him to call. Even just to see how his own daughter was doing. Finally I quit trying, and so did he. (not that he tried to begin with)

If I find him, I may ask him, though.

How sad for your daughter.

You need to find him. There are all kind of people finders on the internet, if you have exhausted all contacts of friends and family, and have tried mailing something to his last known address with forwarding address requested.
